Ferguson more focused than ever for UFC newcomer

With a wife, a recently arrived baby boy and a new house, Tony Ferguson has a lot on his mind other than fighting these days. Just don’t say he’s getting “civilized” yet.

“I might be (Laughs), but I never lost that animal instinct,” he said. “I'm not worried about the marketing part. I spent so much time and energy working on the talent and the technique and the grind and the grunge that I never really paid attention to the internet websites or selling t-shirts. I was a grinder. I was that guy at shortstop trying to make those plays at first base.
